LaShae’s commentary is a++. Omg to passing on that boat trip because she didn’t trust white people. Lol
I'm about to McBenny this thread because I finally finished this but yes. I absolutely howled at this comment because I totally understood what she was trying to say. I mean, I'm a basic white bitch myself and I think an entire cruise of LLR consultants sounds like absolutely hell no to me.

After years of database management roles, I might actually die at the Google docs and Excel stories. oh my god yes this was my first super like "WTF" reaction when I started watching. I told my H that all these people were working off of ONE GOOGLE DOC AT THE SAME TIME in a major company and he (an IT admin for computer systems) looked like his head was going to explode.

I'm sorry I am late to this but I'm adding my thoughts because this thread is already infinity pages long so I don't care.
I thought I knew most of the stuff but I definitely did not know the stuff about retiring the husband and Deanne telling the women to give blow jobs once a day to keep your man happy. WTF. It is pretty incredible how they think they are being super feminist and woman forward when in reality they are so not.
I did have to laugh when Sam was talking about how he made his events successful by playing to the Millennial/Gen X music tastes. We for sure will always freak out and get down to some NSync.
I think back to where my headspace was when I was buying LLR. It was just after giving birth to my 5yo and I wanted clothing that made me feel comfortable and cute. I also was still in deep throes of my late H's death and so I was throwing money at something that raised my serotonin even if temporarily. I had a healthy collection of leggings and dresses, and while I look back and think some of the prints truly were ridiculous, I did feel cute in all of it at the time. I agree with others that have said they could have been a super successful business without all the shady shit if they had any idea how to run a business correctly. Or, you know, were actually nice humans to begin with.

willow I also had quite a few pieces and really liked them. I still have some leggings (plain and toned down patterns) that I bought early on when they were still good quality. I mean there’s a reason the company was successful at first. The product went to shit when they grew too fast and had no quality control and left leggings out in the sun and rain.

I kept a few of the black/neutral plain leggings for a while after I got rid of everything else because they were very comfortable and well fitting. I thought the documentary did a great job at showing how the allure of limited patterns and live sales on FB made things super successful. It really was a rush to watch those lives and sales and stuff and trying to grab stuff that you really want or like.

I’m glad this thread was bumped so I can comment that Mark and DeAnns son Jordan reminded me of Bobby Newport (Paul Rudd’s character on Park and Rec)

I love how he pretended not to know what a pyramid scheme was and then it cut to footage of him in that training video talking about how not to be a pyramid scheme. 😂😂

OMG I totally didn’t realize the Bobby Newport reference until you just mentioned it, but. You all are 1000% correct.

We stop being a pyramid scheme!”

That guy cracked me up. “That duet with Jason Aldean is one of my favorite songs and I’ll never hear it again.” I had tears.

I have seen a large SUV multiple times in the last week in my area with a huge LLR sticker on the back windshield and all her seller/contact info 🤦♀️
I've seen it multiple times at DD's school and I'm trying to figure out if it's a staff member or just a parent. I haven't been close enough to read her name yet
